Any word when will HP added the 7900 graphics card or higher onto their laptops (especially the dv8000t)?

I haven't heard anything about this, but educated guess, I'd say a long while. HP seems to drag behind in the graphics department because they market their notebooks more as multimedia machines...as in movies, music, videos, etc. And None of those things require a high-end video card. What I think is more likely is that HP will come out with a gaming/extreme line of notebooks ala' Dell XPS. I think thats when we'll see an x1800 or Go 7900+ in a HP/Compaq.
It's a shame, because the dv8000t could certainly accomadate a higher-end card. It seems to cool itself very efficiently. My gpu core never breaks 70c if I have my notebook on a solid surface where it can ventalate itself properly...and thats with a 10% overclock. -
my GPU has yet to break 60c after hours of intense gaming. Could be my LapCool4 notebook cooler though.
I wish the DV8000T came with a better video card too, but I must admit, the 7600 Go has handled everything I've thrown at her, so can't complain. -
